The problem with religion is that it kills the imagination. It insists on conformity not creativity. The Gospel restores the humanity that God originally intended for us all; a humanity that reflects the image of God in us. Religion destroys that image by insisting that we should all be the same. We must fight for our imagination. We must fight for our creativity. We must fight for our humanity.

Traffic Cop Lesson

Brought my kids to their ride to school this morning as usual. Got stuck in the middle of the intersection. Reason? Traffic cops!

I thought the whole purpose of a traffic cop is to make traffic flow smoothly?! These guys allowed buses to block the intersection rather than stopping them when the other side was full. Now, I know that this is how it is in Manila. But it's a simple example of a lack of leadership foresight at such a basic level in our society. Something's gotta change!
